- One minor change and 27 bug fixes
When updating to release 4.0.59.3
You can apply the coordinated access consent to every client that currently has explicit consent on their installation.
This is for communities who have:
- already sought the coordinated access consent from their clients, and
- recorded it in HIFIS as a “bundled” consent using the existing explicit consent functionality
Choosing to opt-out of this option means that you will need to manually add the coordinated access consent for each client separately. The option will not present itself again in the future.
